A. (The child identified must be under age 16). No fee is required; however, you will need: a copy of your Notice of Approval for Form I-600A, , a copy of the child s birth certificate, adoption decree (if adopted abroad),proof the child qualifies as an orphan , release for the child from the child s guardian or sole or surviving parent. The sole or surviving parent must explain why she/he is unable to care for the child. If the initial adoption will be in North Carolina, your home study agency must send an original home study with the child s documents to Ms. Linda Wrightson , Division of Social Services, Raleigh, NC, for her review. If Ms. Wrightson determines that the pre-adoption requirements of NC have been met, she will issue a letter and forward it to CIS/Charlotte. CIS cannot finalize your application without this letter if your initial adoption will take place in North Carolina. Also, if fingerprints were done more than 15 months ago, new fingerprints will also be required.
